Yeah, this is why I wanted my kids to have jobs + be involved in the community with other folks outside of their lil circle. Nobody is going to care in 20 years if they were homeschooled. But they will care about whether or not they’re an arrogant jerk.
There are a couple of invaluable lessons you actually only get from interacting with a diverse (in perspective and intelligence level) group of peers regularly:
1. You will have to work with those people forever whether you like it or not and
2. Being smart is great but if you’re also insufferable and arrogant then it doesn’t really matter.
If it needs to be said, @jenniferwilkin is a faithful Bible teacher and faithful woman of God. She has blessed our women here so many times and encouraged our staff. She is a great leader and I’ve learned a great deal from her.
Really enjoyed this conversation on Doug Wilson and Friends with Doug Wilson, @joe_rigney, and @JaredLongshore. We discuss Christian Nationalism, the SBC Annual Meeting, the Truth and Unity Amendment, the Conservative Resurgence in the SBC, and more.

@SpencerHakimian Not a big fan of hers, but uh, I don’t see the big deal. She’s representing a company & making sure she has THEIR talking points down. If this was for her podcast, maybe. But it’s a commercial.
@farmingandJesus Eh, my years long struggle with assurance was due to bad theology & spiritual abuse. My heart cried to be assured, which I believe was the Holy Spirit being grieved.
Yikes. All I’ve gotta do is text or email my pastors with any questions I have. Or just ask when I see them at church, because you know, they’re regular fellas like the rest of us.
“And they have this once in a maybe lifetime opportunity to sit down with their pastor and ask any question they want…” Josh to Lakepointe donors while he continues to block members online and ignore questions and repeated calls for accountability coming from inside his church.
An important update on the Truth & Unity Amendment to the SBC as we get ready to meet in Orlando. We need to get this done and affirm the convictional principles of the SBC.
@KaeleyT Yup. Thats probably why I don’t cleanly fit into reformed spaces. Pretty reformed ish, but also not completely cessationist or thinking women should only be in the nursery. :)
Didn’t have me agreeing with Beth Moore on my bingo card, but here we go.
Of course, I’ve slowly been learning that complimentarianism is a lot more simple than some of these guys push it to be. So that helps.
I’ve never pastored a church. Couldn’t pay me a jillion dollars to. Never been ordained. Have no desire to. The only paid staff position I’ve ever held in a church was as an aerobics teacher in our church gym. But how in heaven’s name a woman discussing a sermon on a podcast could be objectionable to some is beyond me and what I believe to be beyond scripture. If you have no idea what I’m talking about, good. Stay sane. If you do, I’ve lived a long time and this has been my observation:
Extremism, whether in conservatism or liberalism, whether in politics or religion, is never satisfied. It will always inch a little bit further. It’s a constant test of the purists.
